Day dreamer

It's official Spring is here! This is my favorite time of year as it symbolizes the end of exams and university meaning that summer walks and picnics in the park can begin! I love spending my time laying in a beautiful park day dreaming and chowing down on fresh melon mmmm. 

What are your favorite things to do in the summer ? 

D.I.Y hairmask

Being a blonde means that I constantly need to give my hair T.L.C. Throughout the years I have dyed, bleached even shaved my hair , you name it and Iv'e done it! Fortunately with my mum being a hairdresser it doesn't come at a high price. However while being at university and not having time to visit home I needed a cheap and easy solution to try and rescue my hair from dryness and dullness. Cue my mums crazy natural remedy for hair care.

Avocado, banana & honey hair moisture mask. 

This is probably the cheapest hair mask ,  if you have the ingredients hiding in the kitchen cupboards it could even be free ! Whats better than that? 

So why these ingredients?

Avocado , high in vitamins A, D & E, adds shine and luster and can even promote hair growth. 
Bananas and honey add moisture to the hair , smooth frizz and can soothe an itchy scalp.

Instructions  - 

•  Cut up half an avacado and half a bannaa into a bowl. Add a spoon full of honey and take all the aggression from those daily annoyances and MASH MASH MASH until the texture becomes smooth enough and thick ( the smoother the better). 
• Smooth onto hair and leave for 20-25 minutes , shampoo and condition as normal and voilà , new hair and new you!

 Tip : For a more intense treatment , as silly as it sounds, wrap your hair in cling film. The heat it generates will open cuticles and will further condition the hair.

Have you got any hair miracle solutions ? I'd love to know !

Okay so they're not heels, but this is exactly how I feel when I wear these! They are probably the prettiest shoes I own, the colour, the style, I love everything about them! They are so versatile to wear, to add to a colourful outfit or even to dress up a plain one. Dare I say it ... I think I've found my soul mate in shoes!

Top 3 things to do in Paris

With valentines day soon approaching, it had me thinking what has been my best valentines day so far. For me there is a clear winner, Paris. Well known for being the city of love, it oozes romance, culture and beauty. I went there spontaneously with my boyfriend Jack last year, at the time we were only together for 1 month so the trip was a whirlwind of excitement. This is one of my favourite places to visit and would encourage anyone to go! There's so many places to visit and see So here's my top 3 favourite things I did when in Paris.


One  :   The Eiffel tower - One of the most recognised buildings in the world, it offers breath-taking views over Paris. Options to go the 3 viewing platforms are available , although the view at the highest , personally, is the best!

Two  :  Shop Shop Shop ! - From the quaint streets of Montmartre to the designer shops in Paris centre , this is heaven for shopaholics. Even if , like myself, you can't bring yourself to part with the money for a Gucci or Prada item, it's an experience to visit the shops but be warned that you may fall in love with their latest designs.

Three  :  Hungry? - 100% my favourite meal was breakfast. Warm , rich croissants with fresh coffee, what's more Parisian ?! There are hundreds of little café , chocolatiers and confectionary shops that line the streets so to fully prepare don't over eat at breakfast!


Where are your favourite places to visit ? :)

Who's that girl?

So these are just some photo's I threw together to kind of give you a glimpse into the people in my life and where I live. I'm thinking of doing more detailed posts soon but it's been a loooonnngggg day and after an epic fight with a tin opener in order to have my food after work I feel so drained ! So it's another night of trying to get the hang of this blogging malarkey, watching transformers and eating a shameful amount of sweets.... thee most exciting life ! 

The begining

Yay !!

After many years of laziness I have finally decided to create a blog mainly due to the fact that I've just started university and everyone has left for Christmas , so out of boredom and inspiration from other bloggers I thought that I would take the plunge! However I some what lack in the technological department meaning that for maybe a month or so it will be a bit messy, all over the place and a tad random which kind of resembles my life !!
